Please click on "More Information" for further bed information.

Orthopedic Bed Construction:

Orthopedic Foam: Our foam is so superior that when independently tested, it compressed one third as much as our next best competitor's. The human medical grade foam has convolutions (like an upside down egg carton) that allow better airflow. This eliminates pressure points (like on elbows) where calluses form.

MiracleLoft® Polyfil: Inside the bolsters is a fiber that goes through a fine combing process. This process separates and bends each individual fiber to make our MiracleLoft® extremely full and supportive. It is up to four times fluffier than our competitors'. In fact, a special manufacturing process bends the fibers many times per inch. To the touch, it's denser, bouncier, and more difficult to separate. For your resting dog, this means our bed sinks less, bounces back quicker when he gets up, and retains its form use after use.

Removable zippered liner for easy washing.

Self-repairing, tuck-away zippers that won't scratch your floor.

Five thread, double-stitched seams.

"Every dog should have a bed - for warmth, comfort, and the security of having a place of his or her own."

Dogs tend to select couches, chairs, or beds as a place to rest or sleep. They prefer the comfort and warmth furniture offers compared to a hard floor. Dog beds provide the same comfort benefits, and they keep pets off furniture - an important consideration for many pet owners who prefer to keep their furniture free from pet hair. A bed introduced at an early age, reinforced with consistent training, will keep your pet off your furniture for his or her entire life.

Where you place your dog's bed is entirely up to you and your dog. Just remember it is his or her resting place so it's best not to place it in a high traffic area of your home. Many pet owners place their pet's bed in their cage or crate once he or she is house trained, while others prefer a location near where they spend much of their time so their companion is always nearby.

Perfect for Great Dane
This XL bed is huge in the best way ! My 120# Great Dane Elvis is able to lay on his side with his legs out and his head on the bolster pillow and loves it. He is a curl sleeper as well and loves the bolster pillow for that too as it is supportive and not floppy. I can easily vacuum the bed with a small vacuum to keep it clean and smelling good. The bed portion is supportive as well. Elvis is 11 years old now and loves his bed. I don't worry about his comfort at all.

Just what I was looking for
Our puppy Thunder loves his new bed. He's a german shepherd that's getting bigger every day. One flaw would be it slides across the hardwood floors easily.

Great product
My dog, Luke loves this bed. he used to drag around others and then sleep on the carpet or floor. He goes to be at night before we do!

Perfect product for my needs!
Love it! Or should say, my dog loves it! It fits our needs perfectly. Have owned one in the past which wore out so was pleased to get another. Would recommend this to anyone needing a bed for their beloved pet. The bolster bed is the way to go because I've found over the years that the dogs I've owned love to rest against something. The packaging was impressive. THANK YOU, We love your product. :)

Measure how much space your dog takes up when lying down, then add 12 inches. I purchased an extra large Luxury Bolster Dog Bed for my 12 year old Golden Retriever. At first I thought it was going to be too big, but now I'm glad I went with that size. It gives her enough room to move around and change positions if she needs to cool off. I really love this bed for her. If you order one, I'm sure your dog will enjoy it!

I would suggest measuring your dog from head to tail while laying down. Add a couple of inches to that and you should be good! Most of the bed sizes correspond to the size of your dog. If you have a large dog, get a large bed, etc. Good luck!

Since my Golden Retriever tends to curl up on his Luxury Bolster Bed to keep warm as well as comfy, I measured him according to his "curled up" size. The size chart recommended a large, but the medium fits him just fine--with just enough room for me to snuggle with him.

I read one of their guidelines on the site and measured my dog's length from head to toe while she was laying down, then add about 10-12 inches to that. That should be the width of the bed you buy for your dog. Hope that helps!

My 13 yr old Shih Tzu uses the round, Mammoth brand dog bed I bought 8 years ago, but instead of curling up in it, he prefers to stretch out over it, with his rear legs being supported by the foam. He stumbles more and has a hard time jumping, so I want to get the best bed for him that will ease the aches in his little joints.

This bed should be easy for your Shih Tzu to get up onto. And it would have plenty of room to stretch out and still give the comfort and security to have his back protected. The foam padding is the supportive kind. Firm but with enough give to be comfortable. I hope you can find a size small enough for your dog. Hope this helps.

my dog is a 7 year old Shih Tzu/Bishon mix. The 28" Luxury Bolster Ortho bed is just perfect for him. He can curl up or spread out. the support is soft but still very firm. the cover comes off for easy washing.
